Christianity may have been a characteristic of Europe, however, it is not fair to not include the many various cultures that reacted to it. In regards to cultures such as Asia or Africa, they did not generally participate in Christianity, instead they stayed true to their beliefs in Buddhism or Islam. Opposing opinions based on religion, could also spark conflicts between cultures. Although religion is something that may seem like a peaceful practice for spirituality, it can result in quite violent events. To force a religion onto someone is almost like a crime against humanity, in which you force someone to go against their original beliefs.
Aside from the spread of religion, I believe that the spread of science was an important progression in our history. The world began to have a different perspective for natural phenomena. No longer will explanations for all things be related to the workings of a divine being. Instead people could use scientific methods, based on observations, to essentially create their own set of beliefs.
